Every family has those traditions and days that help define their family. I personally know some families (although I shall not divulge any names unless there is enough cash present) that are adequately defined by April 1.

If I did not get her something, I would look pretty silly come Christmas
morning – I mean sillier than usual. 

Wandering in and out of store after store brought me no closer to that
gift of all gifts that would say, “I think you're terrific.” 

I was exhausted and about to give up and go home in shameful disgrace.
Then, when I was about to give up, there it was. The perfect gift. I 
could not believe my eyes. I rubbed them in disbelief and loudly 
exclaimed, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus after all.” 

I wept, I laughed, I burped (musta been the soda). Right before my eyes
was the perfect gift for my wife. A gift that said, “Honey, you're the 
greatest.” Watching the salesperson carefully wrap my Christmas trophy, 
I could not help thinking about the real meaning of Christmas. 

God searched all of heaven to find that one special gift to tell mankind
how much He really loved them. Finding nothing better, He settled on 
that Gift of all gifts, the Lord Jesus Christ. 

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting 
life” (John 3:16). 

My Christmas prayer is that this year you will celebrate with me God's
gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ.
